Jennifer Stone, PhD
Jennifer Stone, PhD Research Professor Otolaryngology – Head and Neck stoner@uw.edu Additional Titles: Director of Research Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery Co-Director NIDCD Training Grant for resident research training in Otolaryngology Research Areas: Balance, hearing Research Interests: Hearing and balance, development and regeneration of sensory hair cells, biology of hair cell progenitors Primary Methodologies: Transgenic mouse…
William Spain, MD
William Spain, MD Professor Neurology, Physiology and Biophysics spain@uw.edu Work Summary: My lab is identifying the rules for transducing synaptic input into frequency-coded trains of action potentials in neocortical neurons and brainstem auditory relay neurons. Because those neurons perform different functions, their transduction mechanisms contrast sharply.
Joseph A. Sisneros, PhD
Joseph A. Sisneros, PhD Professor Psychology sisneros@uw.edu Additional Titles: Associate Chair of Research Psychology Adjunct Professor Biology Work Summary: The primary focus of the Sisneros lab is the investigation of seasonal reproductive-state and steroid-dependent plasticity of the adult auditory system in the plainfin midshipman fish (Porichthys notatus).

Todd L. Richards, PhD Professor Radiology toddr@uw.edu Research Interests: Brain metabolic changes and functional relationships Primary Methodologies: Imaging Work Summary: Dr. Richards studies metabolic changes and functional relationships in the brain during the progression of neurodegenerative diseases and during language processing. His brain imaging projects involve functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) of language, memory, pain,…
Thomas A. Reh, PhD
Thomas A. Reh, PhD Professor Biological Structure tomreh@uw.edu Research Interests: Retinal development and regeneration Work Summary: The overall goal of Dr. Reh’s research is to understand the cell and molecular biology of regeneration in the eye. He has worked at the interface between development and regeneration, focusing on the retina. The lab is currently divided…
